Krystal has been featured in three of the Star Fox games as both a playable and supporting character.

Krystal in Adventures.

Krystal's debut in the Star Fox series is marked here in Adventures. She is the alternate protagonist of the game; the player plays both as her and Fox McCloud, and the two eventually meet at the end of the game. She possesses the ability to speak with the dinosaurs and can also speak English, although her main language is Dino. Krystal's playablity serves as an introduction to the game, teaching the nature of basic controls, the items and C-stick inventory and collecting the Krazoa Spirits. Because she is not a member of Star Fox yet, Krystal's pause menu only has access to the Gamecube memory card and quit options. 

Instruction Booklet description

“The only survivor of her doomed home planet of Cerinia, Krystal roams the galaxy in search of answers. When a distress call takes her to a small planet in the Lylat system, Krystal suspects that she may finally be drawing closer to the truth...”

—Star Fox Adventures Instruction Booklet

Krystal in the ending cutscene.

Krystal appears in Star Fox: Assault. Her relationship with Fox is strengthening, and she is now a full, but still new, member of the Star Fox team. Krystal serves as the telepath of the team. She is able to sense distress signals from different planets and can read the thought patterns of certain Aparoid units. Saving Krystal from tailing Aparoids will cause her to fly by Fox and give a Silver Ring for helping out. In Assault, Krystal meets Panther, who makes numerous passes at her during both the dogfight and while the Star Wolf team is helping Star Fox in the Aparoid Tunnel.

Multiplayer

Krystal is available as a playable character in Assault's versus mode. Her stats are much lower than the others, and she has one special ability, which is two Barrier Spheres instead of one when revived. While using Krystal, one may consider giving her handicap.

Because of her low overall stats, Krystal is probably the most difficult character to play. The best way to make use of her is to use her special skill. When timing the barriers right, it's possible to deal a lot of damage before the barrier disappears. An effective way of using the barrier advantage is to cook grenades while trying to get close to an opponent. The explosion won't hurt Krystal as long as a barrier is still active. Using the Arwing or Landmaster is not recommended.

Krystal in Command.

Krystal plays a major role in Star Fox Command. Her relationship with Fox has elevated, but it eventually becomes very rocky. In certain endings, the two are either together or apart. In Command, Krystal pilots her own space fighter, the Cloud Runner, named after the CloudRunner dinosaur tribe.

Ending 1 - Fox and Krystal

After defeating the Anglar Emperor, Falco and Slippy begin to celebrate. Fox, on the other hand, tries to convince Krystal to rejoin the team. Krystal refuses at first, but after some input from Falco and Slippy, and a promise from Fox that they would always be together, Krystal eventually agrees and reunites with Fox.

Ending 2 - Good-bye, Fox

After the defeat of the Anglar Emperor on Venom Fox decides that he will leave Star Fox so that he can be with Krystal, and the team agrees, with some reluctance on Falco's behalf, to disband. Fox promises that he will spend the rest of his life as a quiet one living with Krystal. The two have a son, named Marcus, who in the future leads a new Star Fox team.

Ending 3 - The Anglar Emperor

After Star Fox defeats the Anglars at the Asteroid Belt, they receive a transmission from Star Wolf, showing both Wolf's frustration at having his work go unnoticed and Panther's 'acceptance' that Krystal has decided to rejoin Star Fox.

Several months later, Krystal decided that she can't handle the situation anymore, so she goes back to Panther and to Star Wolf. Despite Fox's begging, Krystal leaves regardless, where she starts a new life, and Fox is left to wander alone and unloved.

Ending 4 - Star Wolf Returns

Kursed, Krystal's alter ego.

After Star Wolf's victory over the Anglars on Venom, Wolf still feels unsatisfied. Krystal explains that it was because they had to cheat Star Fox to do so. Leon, on the other hand, is overjoyed that they can get the bounty lifted, and expects a celebration in their honor. Indeed, Star Wolf is praised for their efforts, but the people of Lylat are less kind to Krystal, believing that it was wrong of her to abandon Star Fox.

Eventually, the comments of the populace become unbearable, as they start to hiss as she walks by, or would even declare her a traitor. She pulls away from Star Wolf to find a new life, fleeing to a distant galaxy and going by the name to Kursed (according to the English version). She becomes a bounty hunter, chasing the worst in the galaxy. Some unspecified time later, she runs into Fox on the planet Kew, but has changed so much that Fox doesn't appear to recognize her.

Ending 5 - Lucy and Krystal

Krystal, along with Katt, Amanda, Lucy, and Peppy set up a "Welcome Home" celebration for Fox, Falco, Slippy and Peppy upon their return from defeating the Anglar forces at Titania and Venom.

Notes

Krystal has three stickers which are taken from artwork from all three of her game appearances, and are all only usable by the Star Fox series fighters.

Krystal appears in the fourth game as a trophy, looking almost unchanged from before. The info seems to add more curiosity around her relationship with Fox, concerning her telepathic abilities. She is absent from the Orbital gate Smash Taunts despite being a major character in Star Fox: Assault.
